If it's with Audi, it's probably with all VAG cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda etc.)

- sschueller 12y agoLamborghini and Bugatti as well :)
- mmack 12y agoBut then you need to drive 30km/h and that's a problem with this sort of cars :)
- diverse41 12y agoLamborghini too? That's even worse, since my understanding is that those cars are precisely designed to be driven with cruise control at 30 km/h in public places.
- dagw 12y agoBased on the Lamborghini's I see around town, driving 30 km/h round and round a few central blocks hoping (I guess) to impress someones of the appropriate sex is the prime use case of a Lamborghini.
- foobarian 12y agoNo way, a Bugatti would stall at 30kmph.
- kaftoy 12y agoThey don't use the same supplier for all models. Sometimes the diesel variant can have a different supplier for the ECU (Engine Control Unit) than the gasoline variant of the same model. They don't trust the entire production on a single supplier (strategic reasons). Bugs like this one can be noticed a bit late during production phase, so they will not be fixed, as they are not considered SoP (start of production) blockers. A new SW release costs a lot of money and they are requested on a need to have basis. The SW in the ECU is pretty big for an embedded device with just ~2MB dedicated to program flash: 500k-1m lines of code. And that is only for the engine. In a regular car maybe you have 10-30 on board computers. There are many more bugs in there, you just don't see them all. :-) (I'm working in the industry for such supplier)
